About Me
italki teacher since Sep 29, 2015InterestsSports & FitnessWritingFilms & TV SeriesMusicTravel
I absolutely love travelling, and have travelled the world since 2010, visiting and living in over 30 countries on 5 different continents. I enjoy watching football, reading and sometimes writing, hiking, and sometimes practicing languages.Me as a Teacher
My classes focus on improving your speaking skills. Through videos and articles, you will learn how to have conversations about a wide range of topics. I use the website TED Talks to discuss fun, interesting and though-provoking subjects. In my lessons you will:
- Become a more confident English speaker
- Expand your vocabulary
- Improve your grammar and pronunciation
- Correct common mistakes made in your speaking
- Practice giving your opinions and expressing yourself
- Enhance your reading and listening skills
- And ultimately be able to talk to native speakers more easily!
Come and take a trial lesson with me to see if the classes are for you :)My lessons & teaching style
[Not suitable for children under 18, or for complete beginners.]
I send my students Ted Talks videos and related articles about any kind of topic. After you watch/read these in your free time, we discuss the content in the class. Here you can practice giving your opinions, agreeing & disagreeing, and practice your speaking and listening skills. The class is completely conversational, but we may also go through all the new vocabulary/expressions from the materials. During the class, I correct your mistakes as we speak, while also writing them down in the chat box. The idea is to let you practice your spoken English, correct your mistakes, and expand your vocabulary.My teaching material

I had a 30-minute trial lesson with Tom. He gave me the impression of being a friendly, supportive, and well-prepared teacher, who knew what he was talking about. He encouraged and let me talk a lot during the lesson, I definitely recommend to anyone want to improve their speaking skills.

It was my third class with Tom and I'm really satisfied! Until now I have learned more than 100 new words just with three classes and I'm so glad because with more vocabulary I can express myself better! I can realize clearly the british accent and he noticed my mistakes and corrected me all the time. Thank you, Tom, see you in our next class!

Tom is an excellent tutor. He is very kind and helps me to improve my speaking by correcting my mistakes and giving me material in each session to improve my vocabulary and comprehension.
